For operations of aeroplanes that cannot maintain level flight after a critical engine failure at low height over a non-congested area, what training requirement applies to crew members?

The operator shall establish a training programme for crew members.

Under SPO.POL.145, when operating an aeroplane at a height of less than 150 m (500 ft) above a non-congested area, what briefing must be given to all crew members and task specialists on board?

All crew members and task specialists on board must be briefed on the procedures to be carried out in the event of a forced landing.

In the context of SPO.POL.145, what specific condition must be met for the operator to be required to establish operational procedures, training, and briefings?

The aeroplane must not be able to sustain level flight in the event of a critical engine failure, and the operation must be at a height of less than 150 m (500 ft) above a non-congested area.

SPO.POL.145 Performance and operating criteria

Q: What is the maximum height above a non-congested area at which the requirements of SPO.POL.145 apply to aeroplanes that cannot sustain level flight after a critical engine failure?

Less than 150 m (500 ft) above a non-congested area.

Q: According to SPO.POL.145, what are the three mandatory actions an operator must take when operating an aeroplane that cannot sustain level flight after a critical engine failure at low altitude over a non-congested area?

The operator shall: (a) establish operational procedures to minimise the consequences of an engine failure; (b) establish a training programme for crew members; and (c) ensure that all crew members and task specialists on board are briefed on the procedures to be carried out in the event of a forced landing.

Q: What must an operator establish to minimise the consequences of an engine failure when flying an aeroplane below 150 m (500 ft) above a non-congested area, if the aeroplane cannot sustain level flight after a critical engine failure?

The operator shall establish operational procedures to minimise the consequences of an engine failure.
